About Cracked Reflection

A captivating wall-mounted sculpture crafted from black porcelain clay. This piece is a mesmerizing exploration of organic forms that radiate outward from its center, creating a dynamic and visually striking composition.

The sculpture’s design is reminiscent of nature’s intricate patterns. From its core, leaf-like shapes unfurl towards the edges. Interspersed among these forms are hollow tubes that curve and stretch outwards, adding depth and dimension to the piece. At the heart of the sculpture lies a small cluster of tapering tendrils. These delicate strands intertwine and culminate in fine points.

What truly sets this sculpture apart is its unique surface treatment. The black clay base is largely covered by a white crackle glaze, applied in a way that resembles flakes or scales. This glaze varies in size and pattern across the sculpture’s surface, creating a rich tapestry of texture. In some areas, the glaze appears as tiny, almost microscopic flakes, forming an intricate network that resembles a delicate web or lace. In other sections, larger flakes of the white glaze create bold, crackled patterns, reminiscent of parched earth or weathered paint.

This interplay between the dark underlying clay and the fractured white glaze adds a layer of visual complexity and tactile appeal to the sculpture. The contrast between the smooth, curved forms and the rough, textured surface creates a piece that is both elegant and raw, inviting closer inspection and contemplation.

This wall sculpture stands as a testament to the artist’s skill in manipulating form and texture, resulting in a piece that is at once abstract and evocative of natural phenomena.
